.Ave Maria University has a number of talks online from past years -- 2004 and on, to be exact. There aren't a ton, but the ones that are there are what you would expect from Ave Maria. Here are some early ones:

Unbeknownst to me, the folks over at Chesterton.org have a podcast! (Sidenote: IMHO, Chesterton would be horrified at the isolationism that the Earbud Culture breeds, but, redeemingly, would likely enjoy Podcasts as smalltalk writ large.)

The Podcast is called Uncommon Sense (libsyn here) and starts with a few of the usual suspects: Dale Ahlquist, Mark Shea, etc. They have over 40 episodes now -- check 'em out.

....please don't be upset if I haven't posted your submission / comment / etc. I've got four kids age 5 and under and a job that can be rather time-intensive. I try to put up the audio that folks send in but sometimes things slip through. If I dropped something of yours, it's nothing personal -- if it's really good, don't feel bad sending it to me twice. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.

In the past I have asked for prayers for, Philip Johnson, a seminarian with an inoperable brain tumor.

A reader alerted me to a video of a talk that he gave at Catholic High School calledSt. Thomas More Academy, in Raleigh, NC.

He covers four major points:

1. His conversion story. Not being a great Catholic in High School. Looked forward to fraternities and parties in college. Ultimately went to the Naval Academy. It was there that he went to Mass again and began feeling called to the priesthood. He explains this call and talks about time he spent in France, especially at Lourdes.2. His vocation story which is ultimately intertwined with his cancer diagnosis and being released from the Navy.3. Being diagnosed with a terminal and inoperable brain tumor and reacting to this news.4. Embracing this cross and talking about the value of redemptive suffering.

To Blog Master: I don't know how to email you, so I thought I'd leave a comment suggesting another link -- David Burke from Duluth, GA has written a beautiful, meditative setting to the Hail Mary. The link provides a downloadable mp3 and sheet music. Thank you for sharing such wonderful resources. Peace be with you!

Thanks, Anon!
